May ILCMA Professional Development Event

The ILCMA Professional Development Committee Presents

Building and Sustaining Employee Engagement

The importance of employee engagement can’t be overstated – employee engagement strategies have been proven to reduce staff turnover, increase productivity, improve efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction. Most importantly, engaged employees are happier, both at work and in their lives.

Learn what causes employee engagement, what performance and productivity metrics best measure it, as well as leadership strategies to support a highly engaged corporate culture. How can organizations create and sustain a highly engaged, high performing culture?
